Rail News

Highgate Park : More local news and local events from in and around the Highgate Park Davenport area as Amtrak's top official said today the government operated passenger railroad is better positioned than potential foreign competitors to operate a proposed Tampa-Orlando high speed train.

"Our capability to operate high speed trains, to operate electrified trains…brings depth and knowledge on how to operate trains in a corridor," president and chief executive Joseph Boardman said in response to a conference call question with the news media.

Amtrak operates Acela high speed trains between Boston, New York and Washington. It is the only high speed rail operator in North America.

"We do have foreign competitors," Boardman said. "Many are beginning to raise their heads with the dollars available."

If the Obama Administration approves Florida's $2.6 billion request for high speed rail stimulus funds this winter, electric-powered trains operating up to 150 mph could travel between Tampa and Orlando beginning in 2014.
